I got this book as a giveaway, it wasn't what I thought it was going to be but it turned out to be an interesting read anyway. I especially enjoyed the parts of the book that dealt with advertising and social media.

Not as good as DaVinci Code in my opinion but if you liked DaVinci Code you would probably like this one and vice versa.

If you think you had a fucked up childhood, think again. This memoir is so unbelievable you'll think it's fiction.

I've read at least half of this at some point. It quickly becomes apparent how JRR had more sense about what was publishable and entertaining than his descendants. It makes all kinds of sense to build a rich history for your world, a tapestry that forms a backdrop for your story. But then some people get the idea they should publish every world the guy every wrote. Ick. I might try to slog through it again some day, just for completeness and nerd cred. But it's pretty far down the priority list. Uhh, well, since you guys can all see it I guess I have to admit that technically it's not even on my "to-read" list.

This book is phenomenal. It is an allegory, and is full of plot twists, dramatic scenes, quirky weirdness, great dialogue and superb writing. Chesterton is able to turn a phrase like no one else I've ever read, and do it consistently throughout the book. The scenes he paints with his words are gorgeous, and overflowing with simple awesomeness. It is also very hilarious while still making you think. A great book, but I did have some problems reading it. Not having known it was an allegory beforehand would have helped tremendously. The characters do not necessarily act in the most natural way at times, but once I figured out what Chesterton was doing it made a lot more sense and was much easier to enjoy. The characters are in perfect harmony with what they represent, but I felt it was a little uneven with regards realistic characterization. This may also be because the book is over a hundred years old, and culturally things are different. The only other complaint I have about this book is that the twists were genius, then predictable, then genius again. The book is full of plot twists and reveals, and about a third of the way through the book I was able to predict the next few twists. The book was still a thrill to read, but had lost some of its flavor by following the same pattern. Again, once I saw that this was allegory it made more sense; also, with about the 5th character reveal I understood that Chesterton was not playing this twists to say "Aha! Gotcha!", but was doing so to show a bigger point about the theme of goodness he was delving into. Once that happened I started to love the book even more. Of course, then the twists get quite ridiculous (but still work) and I was utterly unable to predict some of them. Again, if you know this book is an allegory, and you're familiar with Christianity, the themes are pretty easy to spot. Then as you read on you realize you have no idea what is happening, and by the end are quite confused. I knew I'd just read an awesome story, and thought I had some of it figured out, but the more I thought about it the more I realized I didn't know. Definitely would be worth a reread.

This is a funny, sweet story of friendship and sacrifice. I highly recommend it for both believers and non-believers. It's well written, has a great plot and even though you know what's coming, it will continue to surprise you. I can't wait to read other books by Christopher Moore

This book examines the lives & thoughts of some of the most prominent 19th-20th century moslem thinkers who all had a common belief that Islam has the answer for the world's problems and crisis. The thinkers studied here are: al-Afghani, Muhammad Abduh, Ayatollah Khomeini, Sayyid Abu'l-A'la Mawdudi, Hassan al-Banna, Sayyid Quthb, Musa al-Sadr, Al-Shariati & Muhammad Baqr al-Sadr. This book also provides political-cultural context of each thinker's lives & works, and as religion can't be separated from nationalism, like in the case of Zionism, militan moslem thinkers could also be seen as championing the cause of civic religion. I'm currently studying Al Qur'an, I will use this book to add my Qur'an study, a sort of retrospective background these thinkers have encountered before, the dialectics between scripture & perceived reality.
